2100117, hopefully....the last game for the Rams with St. Louis...vs. Seahawks
Posted by Warren Coolidge, Sun Dec-30-12 04:30 PM
no offense St. Louis fans...but I got to be honest...


anyways....Rams can end with a winning record....undefeated in their division...

or Seattle can get a bye week...

I was in Seattle for Christmas and the seahawks are on fire up there...

2100121, lol...where the hell are they going...

2100124, D-Line with 2 huge sacks.....we got a very solid D-line...
Posted by Warren Coolidge, Sun Dec-30-12 04:42 PM
Brockers became the first rookie DT since like Sean Gilbert to come in and ball...

8th straight season with 1000 yards. Only the sixth man to do so. Hope the Rams understand what they have when its time to deal with his situation. But, DAMN I'd love to see him rocking the silver and blue.
2100152, Pettis has turned into a solid possesion WR...

2100186, Arbitrator's proposal due in a couple of weeks....
Posted by Warren Coolidge, Sun Dec-30-12 06:22 PM
The rams are 30th in home attendance this season....a season where they improved pretty drasticlly..... 30th in attendance...

again once the arbitrator submits his proposal .... both the city governing body has to approve it and have a way to pay for it that is agreeable to the voters from that 30th in attendance group of people.....

AND....

the abritrators proposal must be agreeable to the Rams...AND fulfill the leases stipulation that the new statdium will be among the top revenue producers in the NFL...

I don't believe either one of those requirements will be met by the arbitrator's proposal..

St. Louis has not shown the type of desire to keep the Rams as say the Raiders did by agreeing to expenses to keep the Raiders while cutting schools and police and fire....

I just don't believe St. Louis is going to do that right now based upon the level of support they have shown.

Nor do I believe that Kronke will move off of the stipulation that the stadium has to be top tier...

Why would he?

After the arbitrator's proposal is released....That is the final official function that has to take place before any discussion of the lease can happen..

yes the Rams are under that lease for 2 more years..

but..

if they are not going stay past those 2 years....the opportunity to buy out the rest of the lease begins once the arbitrator's proposal can be rleaed...

the value of that buy out to the city of St. Louis is higher sooner rather than later. If St. Louis is resigned to the fact that they are not going to be able to provide facilities that will warran the Rams staying, there is no reason to delay the divorce. They already have the 30th rated home attendance....next season would be worse and history shows that a team plying in limbo will not be successful..

A buyout of the lease after the arbitraitor's proposal is a possibility....the Rams could agree to move to the new Farmer's field which is a go on construction, and play next season at the Rose Bowl...

the opportunity for Stan Kronke would honestly be too good to pass up..

not saying it will happen as soon as next season.....but the next season is the soonest it could happen because the official negotiation process as far as the stadium in St. Louis is concerned ends very soon.


** the Rams 30th ranking in home attendance is based on 7 games only because of the london game.... But in 2011 they were 31st in home attendance, and in 2010 30th**
2100418, First of all your numbers are faulty, #2, a lot could happen in 2 years

Posted by justin_scott, Sun Dec-30-12 06:59 PM
wilson, tate, and lynch have great numbers on paper. steven jackson had "okay" numbers. obviously no 50 point game for seattle.
2100253, wilson been sacked like 6 times.
Posted by PROMO, Sun Dec-30-12 07:01 PM
so we'll have a decent drive going then get sacked on 2nd or 3rd down killing the drive or making down & distance too great.
2100261, ahhhhh...okay

Posted by Dstl1, Sun Dec-30-12 07:01 PM
Rams have done a good job defensively today.
2100297, they have. Hawks line has been top notch lately. not today.
Posted by PROMO, Sun Dec-30-12 07:25 PM

but they end the season with the best record against a pretty good division...
2100407, congrats to the Rams...
Posted by Dstl1, Sun Dec-30-12 08:26 PM
from 2-14 looking like the one of the sorriest collection of players to ever play in the league to 7-8-1 damn near being in every game they lost with exception of a couple. Good shit. Also...thanks to Stephen Jackson. Gave the prime years of his career for a handful of wins. Good luck wherever you end up, Boss.
2100566, I think yall prepped us pretty well for the playoffs
Posted by jigga, Sun Dec-30-12 10:31 PM
The blowouts were nice but that wasn't gonna continue in the postseason

Pete sent word upstairs a few series in & banned us from showing the niner/cards score for the rest of game. Not sure if that got the focus back but it was good to win a grind out game like this.
2101222, wow. just saw someone compare Wilson to Rick Mirer
